Dispute at the carnival celebration in Saarbrücken: woman bitten and hurt!

in the Congresshalle in Saarbrücken occurred on the night of March 2, 2025, between 01:30 a.m. and 3:00 a.m., an incident that called the police on the scene. At the carnival event "Premabüba" there was a dispute between a 24-year-old woman and several other women outdoors, which resulted in a brutal attack. One of the women's women bit into the left lower jaw and caused a deep wound of several centimeters that required immediate treatment in the emergency room of a hospital, such as the Bild reported.

An investigation against the previously unknown perpetrator was initiated in the early morning. The Völklingen police inspection also launched a witness call and asks the public for help. Witnesses of the incident are asked to report on 06898/2020. So far, the background of the dispute is unclear, and the investigators are still at the beginning of their extensive research.

social context and violence against women

This incident is reminiscent of the persistent concerns about violence against women in Germany, which were taken up in a recently published report by the German Institute for Human Rights. The study evaluates the implementation of the Istanbul Convention, which has been demanding and pursuing violence against women since 2018. Critics such as Beate Rudolf, the director of the institute, emphasize the lack of a national overall strategy and necessary resources for the protection of women.

The report that analyzes data from all 16 federal states raises the problems that women often experience, including digital violence and inadequate resources in women's protection facilities. A total of over 13,000 beds are missing in Germany, so that many women and girls cannot be accepted in acute danger. These systematic defects in violence policy throw a disturbing light on the social framework conditions in which such incidents can take place, as recently at the event in the congress hall.

It is recommended to develop a nationwide violence protection strategy and to expand the protective devices. The introduction of uniform training for the police and judiciary for better prevention and persecution of acts of violence against women is also considered necessary. This underlines the urgent need to take presents and new challenges in the field of women's rights seriously.
